Scalable common interface plate system (SCIPS)

摘要: The present invention provides a low profile, compact, scalable concept end-effector for use in robotic handling applications. acts as the interface between multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) manipulator and its base (if applicable), well tools it handles is compatible with both large systems such Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (SRMS) Space Station (SSRMS) smaller dexterous manipulators Orbital Express Dexterous System. An active/controlled component attached to roll joint(s) at one or end(s) of manipulator, an entirely passive structure/tools that interfaces with. Interface engagement mate operations are performed by way joint. Once mated, shear pins extended lock mated assembly place achieve high stiffness, zero free play interface.
